If I do a nandroid restore will that restore my radio as well?
I want to say yes. Because I think a nandroid is basically a complete copy of the current state of your phone at the time of backup. But you should probably wait for confirmation on that
Nope, sorry.
Thanks for the replies guys

Dude there just messin with you. It will restore your phone back to EXACTLY the way you had it. All though, I'm pretty sure once you upgrade your radio, it's a real pain in the rear to go backwards.
Edit: Or is that software version?
Infact I just did one, and mine is still 2.05xxxxx

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there was a way to get Nandroid files for a restore. My stupid phone decided to s-off while installing Runnymede and now it's stuck in recovery. I've tried the sticky and it just sucks. I have to create a goldcard and then there's this other thing I need to do...ugh!
Can anyone give me a Nandroid restore file? It's for a UK Bravo, (Desire), HG3 phone. It doesn't need to be HG3 since it's unbranded and it was just the ROM which shipped with the phone when Three Network gave it to me as a "yay! You chose us over T-Mobile, what phone do you want?" present.
Thanks.
Didn't you make a nandroid back up before flashing another rom?
Every phone is different. So I am pretty sure our backups won't work for you.

Hi
I have a question before sending my HTC back for the wifi repair to HTC.
If I make a nandroid backup of my existing custom rom, then unroot the phone, when I reroot the phone once i get it back, can I simply use the nandroid backup I had made to restore everything once I have re-rooted?
Thanks
Manny

Yep, ofcourse you can.
To be honest you need to re-lock your bootloader also.
And hopefully your lucky enough to be one of the people that gets a warranty fix even though your unlocked and rooted.
As many people get turned away.

Ok, thanks, its worth a try
I made a nandroid backup of my stock rom and also have the boot.img for the stock rom. I assume that if I flash these 2 first and then lock the bootloader? Is that correct?
if it is correct - is it simple to lock the bootloader?

Hi, yeah thats correct mate.
Easiest way is to flash the correct RUU for you phone. Im sorry but I don't know how to get the correct RUU perhaps someone else could help.
What I do know is that you can never fully "lock" the bootloader again, it will say "Re-Locked" and not "Locked" all you can do is hope they do not check the bootloader.
Hope this helps

If they check it and see it says relocked and then refuse to repair it is the same as me leaving it unlocked?? So i may as well leave it as it is?

TO be honest yeah, your right you may as well leave it as unlocked.
But definately return it to stock as much as poss, using the RUU or flashing the stock images etc.

ok cool, in that case will just flash the nandroid back up of the stock img and the boot.img and leaver the bootloader unlocked - should be sufficient. should i also uninstall the clockwork mod etc?

Definately, if they boot the phone and see CWM, TWRP, Titanium, SuperSU/SuperUSer they'll know straight away you are rooted.
Remove anything you possibly can that will identify a rooted unit.

Using their repair tracking page, the current status is "in repair" so it's looking good. The status just changed an hour ago though so there's still plenty of time for them to call with bad news.

Warranty VOID?
I needed to send my phone in, but I don't have the sticker on the back, or the box, and there's no way for me to get to the settings on the phone, because the screen stopped working.
Will HTC still be able to service my phone, or is the warranty considered void?

HTC repair is bull**** just for the record. I have 4G Slides on the rest of my lines, ALL of which had to be sent in.
2 of those phones took nearly 45 [FORTY FIVE] days to get back to me. Apparently there was a hold for parts coming in from Taiwan. They wouldn't tell me which parts. They wouldn't even give me an estimate time. HTC didn't apologize or update me on my repair. I found all this out after numerous calls day after day.
But if you thought that was bad service, you'll love this...
The third phone was sent out and came back fairly quickly. Within a week. I was so happy to get my phone back.
Opened the box and GUESS WHAT?
HTC SENT ME THE WRONG PHONE
They sent me a completely different phone for a different carrier (HTC Evo 4G for Sprint). It was very beat up as well.
I swear, if it wasn't for their designs (which I love dearly) I would've dropped the company by now...
Sorry for the rant/threadjack. Thought you guys would like to hear a horror story. I'm done
does anyone know how to remove the super su app and the clockwork recovery? everything else is now back to stock as i did a nandroid back up immediately after rooting initially
thanks

hey so guys, i just flashed cwm recovery latest .43 and i was going through my usual routine of wiping for a new rom.... well this new cwm has a new wipe called wipe factory (i pressed it by accident because i am so use to having wipe sd card there) and then a few minutes later i bump into this post concerning it
now my IMEI is a generic 00499 and have no call signal at all!
and i dont have a backup!
how can i fix this?
why was such a dangerous option in CWM recovery......?
anybody please, let any help you can!
BUMP, please does anybody know any solutions?
is my phone a paperweight forever?

i freaking hate CWM for all it stands for
what kind of dumb idea is to have format factory folder in there?

thanks though
i wanted to bump this.
so heres what happened. i went to my tmobile store to buy a micro-SIM card for my new Moto G. The register guy thought I was gonna use it right away (but i didn't because the Moto G was still on its way via delivery) so he prematurely cut my old sim card and switched my phone number to the new micro-sim card. When I had realized this- i went back to the store and told him about the mistake.
Since you cannot reactivate a sim card that has been cut, he gave me a fresh regular sized sim card for free with my number back on it and so I went home.
Now for fun, i figured "hey what happens if i put this new fresh sim card inside my galaxy nexus with the nuked generic IMEI?"
............ to my SHOCK, my notification drawer said "T-MOBILE" and I had full bars of signal. I could call, I can text and everything! I went to my system information in settings menu and it still had the generic 00049 IMEI! So for those who had my same problem, try replacing the sim card!
Im trying to help a friend here who has a European(UK) HTC One M8 fully stock lollipop and he wants to revert back to 4.4, can you advise what would be the easiest way to do this and any links for RUU's would be so great, many thanks in advance guys.

Those guys always seem to be a step behind, when they release a version, only works with the older firmwares, for example, the version number 3 will work almost 100% with 4.4.4. But not so sure about Lollipop.
Anyway, they are doing a good job.

How can they work on an exploit without having the final build in the first place? Of course they'll be behind as they have to work on it once released. They're also the ONLY ones now actually able to S-OFF the M8 so there's no other choice
You could try nandroiding it back to previous boot and Rom, factory reset first.
I tried this but couldn't boot past the HTC one screen, but apparantly worked for someone else.

Someone on the forums yesterday or the day before used Sunshine 2.8.4 and had success with S-Offing Lollipop. You should give it a try. You only pay if it will work, so there is nothing to lose.
True that. It worked perfectly.

I did read, they said it will work on some devices with 5.0, not all...so there are 10% chances to work on Lollipop. Bye.
P.S. 4.4.4. is the main target of Sunshine V3.
